    Unfortunately we now have it confirmed from three referrals that Kara has bone cancer and her quality of life will not be good for the brief time she would be with us. Therefore we have had to make the difficult decision and manage the last few days of her brief life. Our vet has been marvellous and we will get the family together to say goodbye. We will always remember the fun and mischievous individual that she is.

    We will of course be in bits for a while and luckily we have thousands of memories of her.

    She is the second Retriever we have lost to bone cancer but we will get another. They are such wonderful animals and companions.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
